Administration blocks at Evolution Mining’s Mungari Gold Operations have been used as a canvas for local artists to tell an Aboriginal Dreamtime story.

Six Kalgoorlie-Boulder artists worked with the Mungari team to create a new backdrop for our administration buildings which will help ensure more links to our indigenous culture remain a daily part of life and work at Mungari Gold Operations. Capturing the stories of local Indigenous families for generations to come a series of colourful Dreamtime murals are in line with our approach to integrating sustainability into everything we do. A team of Indigenous local artists painted artistic impressions of wildlife, flora, and fauna which are now permanently displayed to not only aesthetically improve the surroundings but also help to pass down the stories of local Indigenous elders and keep their messages present, visible, and top of mind.

Evolution Mining Mungari Integration Lead Anne Marie Schell lead the team of artists which included Danielle Champion and Em Sanders. The murals are based on Dreamtime stories of Seven Sisters – a story that Danielle’s grandmother passed down throughout the generations of her own family. New totems, created from local land branches, are also displayed across the site adding to the new murals and new Acknowledgement of Country signage.

Schell reflected, “I am truly grateful to Danielle for sharing her beautiful artwork and stories with us and allowing our team members to experience the beauty of a Dreamtime story as they arrive at work.  The artwork has created many conversations around site, and many have commented that it brightens their day when they come around the corner and see the paintings.”
